April 2019

Have you see Sam shoveling snow during the cold, snow mornings? Do you see Sam putting out and picking up the big yellow cones before and after school? Maybe you have spotted Sam in the halls changing light bulbs, cleaning the walls or fixing something for a teacher. Has Sam ever made you or your child smile? We are so incredibly lucky to have Sam Bellows work at Park View as head sweeper. On April 22, 2019 Sam was awarded classified employee of the year!

Earlier this month Park View’s best keyboarding champs had the opportunity to compete against other students from the district in the Annual District Keyboarding Competition. Congratulations to Avoree King, Garrett Shirts, and Reiker Bolling! Way to represent Park View.  

This last week UVU's Theatre for Youth and Education brought the production of Tomato Plant Girl to our students in first through third grade. This performance is a simple story of a little girl who is bullied by her bossy best friend and who learns how to play with an imaginary Tomato Plant Girl while gaining the confidence to play alone if she needed to. This production touched on topics like growing tomato plants, avoiding "girl-bullying" and moving into a new neighborhood. Tomoato Plant Girl was so fun to watch!
